Peer Instruction with Classroom Response Systems

Professors have been using peer instruction with students learning from each other for years. Before the digital revolution professors were already using raising hands or chalk and a blackboard as response systems to quantify classroom polling.

Dr. Morrison, however, makes use of polleverywhere.com and smart devices/laptops as his tool of choice to measure classroom response in real time.

With several faculty in attendance at The Page Room at the Malibu campus, Dr. Morrison successfully demonstrated how using the right technology can:1. enhance student engagement.2. strengthen pedagogical methodology.3. quantify student response, encouraging peer-to-peer review and deep learning.
